Focus: Between Mercy and Merit

WORD FOR TODAY
The major difference between merit and mercy is the degree of God's involvement in various issues of life. Merit speaks more of your capacity while mercy denotes the capacity of God working on your behalf!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." (Romans 9:15-16 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though God expects you to play your part in every issue that has to do with your life; He does not want you to depend on your strength alone. The Lord wants you to depend on and trust your entire life to Him in all issues of life.

Merit sets limits to how far you can go or the position of your placement but mercy qualifies you beyond your qualification. You have never seen or had access to some places, but when God decides to have mercy on you; God's mercy will speak for you there.

The beauty of your capability is in how much your life operates under His mercy. Life has proven over time that; what you get is not commensurate to the level of your effort or capability. Until a man understands the concept of God's mercy; he will never enjoy the fullness of God's goodness in the land of the living.

+ Do you desire God's mercy above merit?

Look upon me Oh Lord and be merciful unto me; just as you always do unto those who love your name in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Merit only favours a man who has obtained mercy!!!
